Re: [osg-users] OpenSceneGraph 2.4.1 stable release?? If/when/when/who

Hi Eric, Thanks for the offer of help. Having a hard a fast rule w.r.t binary compatibility will preclude some important bug fixes, this has happened with previous releases, and includes fixes to 2.4.0. So I'd suggest that one uses discretion about what parts get merged and if it means breaking

Hi Paul, It sounds like we are now on roughly the same wavelength w.r.t how to progress. Right, but that is for maintenance of the next stable branch. How about the current one (2.4)? I'd suggest going with a branch from 2.4.0 or 2.5.1 (if you want to be lazy) i,e svn copy

I'm willing to help port bug fixes back to stable branches. I have an ulterior motive though; I made a particular change in the Inventor plugin that is now in SVN that I would like to see in a stable release. I think that only bug fixes should be ported back; API changes would have to wait for
